It is a bit hit and miss wether my google will resume after tts, not sure if its a bug or my system set up. Was working great for a while but last week or so has been patchy. I have attached the traces for the script that failed to resume if you can take a look when/if you have time, please.
Version: 2023.6.1
Goole resume helper script: dpaste/itnzW (Python)
Google resume script: dpaste/BEhfx (Python)
When you rely on the the automation it will always be a race if the automation triggers on time before the tts already stopped the media player. Itās better to call the script directly and not to rely on the automation.
In the next version I will remove the automation from the main file, and place it in a separate file. Iāll also disable it by default.
I will add some small scripts which will make it easier to call the script directly.

As always, thank you.
Do you know which example from your list would best suit my set up to call the script directly and not rely on the automation. Iām struggling to get my head around how I do this.
All my TTS scripts are the same (other than the message):
alias: gate announce
sequence:
- service: script.google_home_resume
data:
action:
- service: tts.cloud_say
data:
entity_id:
- media_player.main_bedroom_room_speaker
- media_player.living_room_speaker
- media_player.grace_bedroom_speaker
- media_player.kitchen_display
message: The gate has been opened
mode: single
Thank you @TheFes for this wonderful package. Iāve been using and enjoying this package for over a year now. Keep it up!

Sorry forgot to reply to this.
Your YAML looks fine
This was my error as well. Sounds like the sp_dc and sp_key changes ever so often. Perhaps add this common error to the documentation in a FAQ Error Troubleshooting section, even though itās primarily a Spotcast related issue.
I just received the following errors when the script failed for me, is this also related to relying on the automation?

Is it somehow possible to make the music from spotify not stop but just mute in the background? I think it would be much better and avoid a lot of problems. Sometimes it happens that the music doesnāt start again or it only starts on one google speaker while playing in a groupā¦
No, because it canāt play two sources at the same time. Spotify is stopped when you send a TTS or other audio file. And also Spotify and the TTS use the same volume setting.
What you ask can only be done using the broadcast functionality
Ah, maybe some thought for HE developers to be able to send services at once and set different volumes for themā¦
There is only one media volume setting on the device, nothing the HA devs can do about that. I also donāt expect there is a way to play two audio sources at the same time. Both are limitations of the device, which canāt be bypassed by HA
hmm, I donāt understand why it sometimes happens that after restoring spotify playback, spotify switches to only one google speaker when the whole group was playing, it just happens sometimesā¦ otherwise the script works fine
If you can send me script traces when that happens, I might be able to troubleshoot it
I donāt know where to find the exact log, but this is from the system log. Spotify played until 18:00 on the repro group. At 18:00 the sound started for 15 seconds. Then spotify came back using your script, but it was only playing on one speaker.

Well, what if none of the scripts from you were run? then what to trace?
Then spotify came back using your script, but it was only playing on one speaker.
This implies the scripts were started. There should be a trace then.
Iām very excited about this script, as I am a big fan and user of the Chromecast Audio in my house, but I need a little help here. Pretty sure Iām doing something dumb. Iām trying to execute the script from NodeRed, and while it appears to be running, nothing happens. So, can it be executed in this manner, and if so is there soemthing Iāve goofed up here in the call:
Thank you!!!
Your action should be a complete service call, not only the service itself.
Maybe this will help
